"Actually, besides spatial ability and shooting, I only have one more ability..."

Ren Chenxi hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking. Hearing Ren Chenxi's voice, Mu Ning, who had been anxiously waiting, breathed a sigh of relief. She had waited for a long time without hearing Ren Chenxi speak. She thought she might have upset Ren Chenxi with her question. Just as she was contemplating whether to tell Ren Chenxi that she didn't need to answer, Ren Chenxi's voice finally rang out. However, from this slow and calm tone, Mu Ning couldn't discern Ren Chenxi's emotions. Unfortunately, Ren Chenxi couldn't see her now!

Regardless of what Mu Ning might be thinking, Ren Chenxi continued to weave her story according to her own thoughts.

"My last ability is to use crystals to synthesize cards."

"Synthesize cards?" This magical ability seemed bewildering even to Mu Ning, who had been through two years of the apocalypse and seen a lot. "Yes, you should know that I need crystals a lot. Regardless of the crystal's level, as long as it's a crystal, I can use it. I only need 1000 level 1 crystals to synthesize a random card. These cards include shield cards, invisibility cards, speed-up cards, burst cards, and even greasy cards..."

"Greasy cards?" Hearing the word "greasy," Mu Ning inexplicably thought of the greasy mutated leopards and wolves she had encountered earlier, oh, and a few greasy zombies. "So, those greasy bodies we cleaned up earlier were caused by your greasy cards? What about their missing crystals?"

"Cough..." Ren Chenxi didn't expect Mu Ning to react so quickly and start bringing up old issues. However, Ren Chenxi didn't hold back and directly told the truth, "After I attack mutated beasts or zombies, the crystals will be automatically collected into my space, but only within 10 meters of me. Similarly, monsters affected by the greasy cards will keep oozing oil. After they die, they drop a bottle of gasoline, which I can then collect into my space."

Ren Chenxi said so, and although it sounded absurd, Mu Ning, who had personally experienced the effects of invisibility and speed-up, couldn't help but be a bit skeptical. Nevertheless, she had to believe in the existence of a "greasy card" after all. No wonder, even after two years into the apocalypse, Ren Chenxi sold the crystal engine to Qi Sheng without hesitation, despite gasoline being scarce. Also, no wonder Ren Chenxi could easily take out dozens of bottles of gasoline, claiming to have stocked up a lot. It turned out she had the magical greasy card that could provide new gasoline at any time!

Having learned about Ren Chenxi's new and magical ability, Mu Ning couldn't help but become even more curious about the cards Ren Chenxi synthesized.

"So, all these cards you have are randomly synthesized? Can't you synthesize the specific cards you want? Then, those cards that caused significant damage to the mutated octopus just now, are they particularly challenging to synthesize? Can you... show me one of the cards?"

Hey, you don't need to push your luck so much! I've already revealed the existence of my cards to you, and now you're asking so many questions!

Ren Chenxi rolled her eyes with dissatisfaction, grinned at Mu Ning's health bar, and reluctantly continued her explanation.

"I can synthesize cards with my ability, but others can't see the cards I synthesize. As for the highly powerful Burst Card, it is extremely, extremely, extremely difficult to synthesize!!! Originally, I only had a few of them, but they all went on that octopus. Now, I don't have a single one left!!!"

Ren Chenxi's description of the challenging synthesis of the Burst Card's formidable power was already evident to Mu Ning. Although she had suddenly advanced and killed the Level 8 Mutated Octopus, Ren Chenxi was the one who had severely injured it. Sensing Ren Chenxi's slightly angry tone, Mu Ning thought she might be lamenting the difficulty of synthesizing those Burst Cards. She softly reassured, "It's okay. Now that you have a Level 8 crystal, you can synthesize more cards."
